BULGARIA AND ROUMELIA PLANNING A UNION. Movement to Secure Closer Union of the Colonies with Britain. THE IRISH COMPENSATION BILL. / The Porte Acting in Defiance of the Treaty. Halifax, N.S., July 7. Governor Hassan of Novi-bazar has been assassinated. Bulgaria and Eastern Roumelia are planning a union. The agents-general of Canada and Australia are prompting a movement to secure a closer union of the Colonies with Britain. The second reading of the Irish Compensation Bill passed by a majority of 78. The Porte is determined to offer resistance to the carrying out of the Berlin Treaty. Covert opposition is advocated by one party, another favors open defiance. The Chinese victories reported are only the gossip of Eastern bazaars. The Evening Telegram. WEDNESDAY, JULY 7, 1880.

The public have too much confidence in the Evening Telegram to doubt the sincerity of its motives. You may, therefore, rest assured that all the money at the disposal oi the Shea-Whiteway clique would be insufficient to control the sentiment of this paper, or in any measure induce us to swerve from the free and independent course we are now pursuing. The Bank Fishery. A Small schooner, owned by M. Monroe, Esq., arrived at Placentia yesterday, from a second trip to the banks, with a fall fare. She has now landed equal to three hundred quintals dry fish. This is remarkably good work, seeing that the vessel is but 14 tons and carried only seven men, The Rifle. At a meeting of the Rifle Association held some time since, arrangements were made for the following matches:—On the loth instant, the Captain's Gold Medal will be completed for. In this match any rifle may be used. On the3rdTuesday in July (20th) the contest will be for Sir William V. Whifeway's Gold Medal; the Snider rifle to be used; open to both Clubs and the Police. On August 3rd (anniversary of the President of the Association) Captain Sleatr'os Cup will be fired for; open to both Clubs and the Constabulary. i.i.t . THE HOWGATB ARCTIC EXPEDITION.Arrival of the S. S. " Gulnare." The S.S. Gulnare, which left Washington on the :.lst ultimo with the Arctic exploring party arrived here at 0 o'clock this morning. The Gulnare called at Halifax and took on board Lieutenants G. C. Doane, of the Second United States Cavalry, and W. H. Low, of the Twentieth Infantry, who have been granted leave of absence by the Secretary of War,,the former for four months and the latter for twelve months. This ship is said to be in every respect adapted to the service in which she is engaged. She is 2;.() tons, Clyde built and with iron frame propeller. She is 140 feet in length and 21 feet 6 inches in breadth. The engine is 200 horsepower and has two ;.0-inch cylinders, each 24 mclies stroke. Additional strength has been given by fiLling in ~.two and a half inch oaken plank between the iron frames and sheathing inside and outside with stout oaken planks, thus making the hull uniformly 15 inches thick. The -tiM* of the hull has Jaeen braced with extra heavy white oak timbers placed horizontally. Three heavy white oak breast hooks have been placed inside of the piow, and on the outside of the prow is a sheathing, three-eights of an inch of iron armor, extending 10 feet deep and 14 feet aft from the stern. In addition on the sides of the vessel extending above the water line there have been placed wedge-shaped oak timbers to be used in easing the vessel upwards when pressed by heavy ice. A new main deck has been constructed, and a new smoke stack and an extra propeller provided. A new bridge twenty one feet long has been placed amidships. The forward part of the vessel will be used for the seamen. Aft of the engine and boiler is the cabin, with staterooms which will accommodate the officers and scientists. The Gulnare carries, in addition to her steam power, mainmasts and foremasts and duplicate sets ot new sails. She is fitted up to accommodate about forty persons— twenty-five constituting the permanent or station party and fifteen officers and crew of the vessel. After getting some -repairs effected to her machinery and taking on board additional coal and an ice-pilot (the latter having been secured by the American Consul), the Gulnare will, we understand, go to Rigolette and take on board the dog drivers and the sledge dogs, which are expected to be ready for the expedition. From Rigolette she will go on to Disco, using steam only when absolutely necessary. At Disco the coal bunkers *vill be refilled from the supply left by the Polarie or, failing that; from the Danish stores, and then the vessel will be pushed forward as rapidly as possible to Lady Franklin Bay, when the colony and outfit will be landed. If weather and water prove favorable the vessel will return to the United States with as much speed as practicable—probably about the middle of October. Letters from the People.
